[Chen Qingling] Dawn to evening

After returning from Yingshan, Jiang Cheng arranged for Lan Xichen to live alone.At this time, Lan Xichen was checking the news from Yunshen's unknown place in the house, when he heard someone calling him outside the door.

"Zewu-jun."

It's Jiang Cheng.

Lan Xichen stood up and opened the door.

Jiang Cheng stood outside the door alone, holding a sandalwood tray with one hand, on which was a thick pile of clothes.

"Sect Master Jiang, is this?"

"It's very heavy." Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and said to Lan Xichen.

"Oh, I'm sorry, please come in." Lan Xichen hastily let the door out.

Jiang Cheng walked in, put the tray on the table, and sat down unceremoniously.

Lan Xichen also came over and sat down.

"These..." Lan Xichen looked at the clothes on the tray with a puzzled expression.

"I was afraid that my clothes wouldn't fit you well, so I asked the tailor to make a few sets of regular clothes according to your size. I used the usual colors of the Lan family, but I forgot to explain the family emblem, so the light and dark patterns are mostly nine-petal lotus. And this set of wide-sleeved robes for you to wear indoors." After Jiang Cheng realized that he had finished talking about his visit, Lan Xichen just looked at him and didn't speak a little strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle just sent a letter, ordering me to go back to Yunshen to host the night hunting." Lan Xichen's eyebrows were apologetic.

Jiang Cheng reacted for a while before he understood the meaning of Lan Xichen's words: "Oh, I'm leaving." Jiang Cheng nodded, got up and was about to leave.

"Sect Master Jiang!" Lan Xichen called to stop Jiang Cheng, "Can I take this wide-sleeved robe back to Gusu?" Lan Xichen asked softly.

Although Jiang Cheng stopped because of Lan Xichen's words, he only gave him a sideways look.He said, "Up to you."

"Sect Master Jiang! There are more!" Seeing Jiang Cheng raised his feet outward again, Lan Xichen didn't know why, but he always felt that he should say a few more words at this moment, "Save these clothes for me to wear when I come back next time." ?"

"Next time?" Jiang Cheng's footsteps were once again caught by Lan Xichen's words.

"Well, is Sect Master Jiang welcome?"

"Then put it in this room."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he left.

Lan Xichen looked at the closed door with some surprise, Jiang Cheng wanted to leave this room to him?

At this moment, one of the two people was sitting in the house and the other was standing outside the door, neither of them knew what they were thinking.

When Lan Xichen came to bid farewell, Jiang Cheng was wiping his sword on the lotus seat in the sword test hall.

"Sect Master Jiang, Huan Te came to bid farewell." Lan Xichen's robes when he arrived were fresh, warm and elegant.

Jiang Cheng was startled, put away his sword and got up, picked up the two white fine porcelain teapots beside him and handed them to the visitor.

"What is this?" Lan Xichen asked.

"Didn't it taste good?" Jiang Cheng didn't answer directly.

"Cold Mist Sprouts? It is said that this tea only produces about three catties a year, and these two cans are more than one catty. Did Jiang Zongzhu give me all the tea stored in Lianhuawu?" Lan Xichen didn't expect him to just say a word It tasted good, so Jiang Cheng remembered it.

"If you come early next year, I'll keep three catties for you." Jiang Cheng stuffed two tea cans into Lan Xichen's arms, and walked out of the sword-testing hall first, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

Looking at the back of Lan Xichen Yujian leaving, Jiang Cheng thought, that's fine, maybe he won't be so strange when he's not around.

"uncle."

A few days after Lan Xichen had left, Jin Ling eagerly approached Jiang Cheng to call for someone.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Jiang Cheng was very angry with Jin Ling.

Jin Ling complained that his uncle's temper had become even worse since Mr. Zewu left, but he said, "Uncle, my injury has been healed for a month, when will I be able to leave Lianhuawu?"

"The injury is healed, did you think of what you were thinking about?"

"I really can't remember how to get the Gu worm." Jin Ling said with a guilty conscience.

"Then you still have the guts to bring it up? I won't have a place to help you find the second pouch!" Jiang Cheng gave Jin Ling a sideways look.

"Uncle!" Jin Ling was very annoyed at Jiang Cheng's tough attitude.

"Forget it," Jiang Cheng looked at Jin Ling's suffocated look and said, "There is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Since those old guys in the Jin family have been pretending to be stupid, it's time for them to Sober up. Tomorrow I will take you on a night hunt."

"Really? Where are we going?" Hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Jin Ling suddenly became excited.

"Kirin Mountain!"

Qilin Mountain is the birthplace of the Jin family. For hundreds of years, its resources have been basically exhausted through logging, excavation, and hunting by descendants.But here is still regarded as one of the most important territories by the Jin family, because there are many caves of the Jin family's ancestors hidden on Qilin Mountain.For the Jin family, each cave can be regarded as a treasure room waiting for future generations to discover.

The reason why these ancestors’ caves were not evacuated is because of a very strict and illusory reason-only people with predestined relationship can find them, and each cave can only be entered once and one treasure can be taken by one person.Kim's has been passed down like this for hundreds of years.

"Uncle, what is there to hunt here? The trees are all bald, and the guards here are lax enough. I haven't even seen a single person for a long time."

On Qilin Mountain, Jin Ling had already accompanied Jiang Cheng around for a long time, but found nothing.Recently, there have been no rumors of any monsters appearing here, and Jin Ling felt that coming here was a waste of time.

"You can do whatever you are asked to do! Can you feel abnormal fluctuations in spiritual power?"

This was what Jiang Cheng told Jin Ling before he entered the mountain, and asked him to carefully sense the spiritual power around him after he went up the mountain, and he had to speak out if there was any abnormality.

"No, this place is almost exhausted. If there is any fluctuation of spiritual power, it would be nice to meet two places with a little spiritual power just now!"

"You came across two places where spiritual power can be sensed before?!" Jiang Cheng asked Jin Ling in amazement.

The places they walked through just now were all the same. Jiang Cheng couldn't sense the spiritual power wherever he went, but Jin Ling could sense it. It seems that Jin Guangshan didn't lie to him.

When Jin Zixuan passed away unexpectedly, leaving only Jin Ling who was just full moon, Jin Guangshan naturally guarded him and prepared to train Jin Ling to be his future successor.Although Jin Guangyao planned his death later on, he made a lot of preparations.Especially in the last two years before his death, he probably felt a little uneasy. He had found Jiang Cheng many times and explained some things to him.After all, Jin Guangshan could see that apart from himself, the only person in the world who loved Jin Ling and protected him the most was Jiang Cheng, his own uncle.One of them is the secret about Qilin Mountain.

For many members of the Jin family, the legend on this mountain is just a legend, or as it has been handed down hundreds of years ago, only those who are destined can find the ancestor's fairy house.But they don't know that there are other qualifications here - only those who have been infused with the cinnabar of enlightenment by the Patriarch of the Jin family will be able to obtain the fairy fate, and only those who have the fairy fate will be eligible to try their luck.How to determine whether it has been integrated into the painstaking efforts of the Patriarch, the ancestors of the Jin family have their own method, Jiang Cheng is not sure about these.Now, Jin Ling felt it when he came down Qilin Mountain, but Jiang Cheng, who was much more cultivated than him, didn't feel it. This is enough to show that this incident is real.Jin Guangyao didn't pay much attention to this place, because he had been here several times and never had any special feelings.Later, he pretended to remove the guards, but actually arranged a dark line to monitor whether other people who entered here had this luck. Unfortunately, no one else did. In addition to the lack of resources here, he was thrown aside by him, which led to the name of Qilin Mountain. It is very important, but in fact, even the guards dare to be lazy at will.

Jiang Cheng took Jin Ling to the nearest place where Jin Ling had a spiritual sense.There are only hillside gravel here, and nothing abnormal can be seen.Although Jin Guangshan told Jiang Cheng about this secret back then, he did not reveal the method to enter the Immortal Mansion.Maybe it was to guard against him, or maybe he didn't know.If it is the latter, it will be more troublesome, and Jin Ling needs to explore bit by bit. If it is the former, it will be better. If Jin Guangshan doesn't tell Jiang Cheng, he will always tell his grandson, or leave him some useful clues. .

After Jiang Cheng ordered the disciples in the sect to scatter around for vigilance, he asked Jin Ling to carefully recall whether his grandfather had ever explained to him anything related to family secrets.

But Jin Ling didn't think of anything of value.

"Uncle, how old was I when my grandfather passed away, even if I can remember things, I don't remember much."

"You're so stupid, if you don't want to spend your whole life in Lianhuawu, just think about it for me!" Jiang Cheng scolded Jin Ling bitterly.

Jin Ling thought for a long time but couldn't think of it, so he just squatted on the ground with his sword in his arms.

Jiang Cheng saw that this exhaustion was not an option, so he thought for a while and said, "When your grandfather was around, was there anything that he often talked to you about, or repeatedly explained to you?"

"Often chanting? It's just about the history of the Jin family, the great achievements of previous ancestors, and the meaning and origin of Qizhi cinnabar. It's just telling me stories. It's all in the family tree and family instructions. Anyone in the Jin family can see it. It's nothing special!" Jin Ling thought about it carefully again, and felt that there was really nothing useful.

"You said the meaning and origin of Qizhi cinnabar, can you be more specific?" Because Jin Guangshan and Jiang Cheng said before that the method of obtaining celestial fate is related to Qizhi cinnabar, so Jiang Cheng was very sensitive when he heard Jin Ling mentioning it.

"It's nothing more than 'Qizhi Mingzhi, Zhu Guangyaoshi'... By the way, my grandfather mentioned that there were rumors that the origin of the cinnabar mole of the Jin family was because the first generation of masters had opened their forehead pupils. Since then, he has become a man of great wisdom and ability, and in order to commemorate him, and also in hope of obtaining a third eye with the same ability, later generations put a cinnabar mole between their eyebrows to enlighten their wisdom." Jin Ling finally thought of something. It's a relatively unpopular thing.

"The third eye?" Jiang Cheng frowned when he heard Jin Ling's words, pondering these four words over and over again.In the end, he said to Jin Ling with an attempt, "Close your eyes, and try to gather spiritual power between your eyebrows."

Jin Ling tried according to Jiang Cheng's instructions, but there was nothing but darkness, he opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Don't you feel anything special?"

"No, the spot of cinnabar is slightly hot." Jin Ling told Jiang Cheng about the insignificant difference that might even be an illusion.He missed a lot of details just now, and he has been scolded by his uncle for a long time, but he doesn't want to be scolded for being careless again.

"Then try again." Jiang Cheng has no other ideas at the moment, so he can only ask Jin Ling to try again.

"Okay." Jin Ling closed his eyes again and concentrated his spiritual power on the cinnabar between his eyebrows.

Time passed bit by bit, Jiang Cheng waited silently, but after careful observation, he found that the hand behind his back was always rubbing the purple electricity on his fingertips.In fact, he was also faintly nervous.The Jin family has a family motto, anyone who opens the ancestors' fairy house and obtains the relics of the ancestors is a person recognized by the ancestors, and can inherit the position of Patriarch as a matter of course.In fact, this is just a means to influence people's hearts.How could anyone have the opportunity to open the Immortal Mansion without the approval of the current Patriarch and his apex blood?Therefore, the succession qualification obtained by opening the Immortal Mansion is no different from the direct designation of the previous Patriarch, but it is just a halo of being recognized by the ancestors.But Jiang Cheng, an outsider, knows that the young and old of the Jin family may not know it. Even if they know, they can still defy the ancestor's precepts.If Jin Ling managed to find the Immortal Mansion and obtain a relic, those old members of the Jin family would have to obediently give Jin Ling the title of Patriarch.After Jin Ling became the head of the family, it would be much easier to investigate and punish those who murdered him.

Today, Jiang Cheng's mentality has completely changed. He can do whatever he wants. Without power in his hands, Jin Ling, an orphan, will be held in their hands and manipulated at will. Only when he is strong, can others not bully him. !

At this moment, Jin Ling on the side suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Uncle, I sensed it!"
